Bill Mood and Barbara live in Maryland, USA. He was 54 when he was diagnosed in April, 2005. His initial PSA was 7.70 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 7, and he was staged T1c. His initial treatment choice was External Beam Radiation and his current treatment choice is ADT-Androgen Deprivation (Hormone) (Other). Here is his story.

Hello I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2005. During that time my PSA was 7.74 and my Gleason Score was 4+3 (left side) and 3+3 (right side). After reading a lot of articles for treatment I decided to get External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

My PSA readings and treatment were as follows.

Apr 05 PSA 7.74
May 05 " 7.74 Biopsy Positive for cancer
Jul 05 " 12.42 Aug 05 " 11.96

Dec 07 " 7.20
Jan 08 " 7.20
